Ready-to-run AI mini PC

The ASUS NUC 16 Pro NUC16GDKU5 arrives with a Core Ultra 5 325 processor, 16 GB of DDR5 7200 MT/s memory and a 1 TB PCIe 5.0 SSD already installed. The 16-core CPU combines 4 performance, 8 efficient and 4 low-power cores reaching 4.5 GHz, while the integrated Xe3 graphics and 57 TOPS NPU handle AI inference and machine-learning workloads out of the box.

Check power and display limits

The unit is rated for up to 45 W TDP and ships with a 144 mm × 117 mm × 42 mm chassis cooled by dual fans. Verify your power adapter can sustain the load and that your monitors accept DisplayPort 2.1 signals over the two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports if you plan to drive four displays simultaneously.

Bundled connectivity and security

Dual 2.5G LAN ports (I226-V and I226-LM), Wi-Fi 7 BE211 and Bluetooth 6.0 are integrated on the board, so no extra network cards are required. Firmware TPM 2.0 and MIL-STD 810H certification are also present, enabling enterprise-grade encryption and validated drop resistance without additional hardware.
